Orange Card:

Only the home team has an orange card.  Each orange card distributed to teams has a label identifying the home game, meaning, there is a specific orange card for each home game.  The home team is listed first on the game label.

The team manager gives the orange card to the center referee before the game.  After the game, the referee completes the orange card (score, red, yellow cards, and team sportsmanship).  The referee places the self-addressed, stamped orange card in the mail.

Green Card:

Both the home team and visiting team have a green card.   Team Managers complete the home and visiting team names on the green card prior to the game.  Each team manager gives their green card to the center referee before the game.  After the game, the center referee completes the green card (score, red and yellow cards).  Team managers retrieve their green card after the game.

NOTE:  Starting Fall 2005, green cards are no longer mailed.   Green cards are kept by the team manager as their reference to use to enter their score online and to report red cards.
